Federal Register/Vol. 74, No. 41/Wednesday, March 4, 2009 / Notices
Amended Tolerance Exemption
PP 8E7446. Organic Works/BioNet
International Corp. c/o Interregional
Research Project Number 4, 500 College
Road East, Princeton, NJ 08540,
proposes to amend an exemption from
the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR
180.1258 for residues of the biochemical
pesticide, acetic acid, in or on all food
commodities. The petitioner believes no
analytical method is needed because
there are no known analytical studies
which have determined residue
magnitudes on plant tissues following
the herbicidal application of acetic acid.
At the upper application rate of 55
pounds of active ingredient per acre the
resulting concentrations should be well
below the 1 to 1.5% levels predicted
when acetic acid is applied to hay or
grain, a use for which acetic acid has
gained an exemption from the
requirements of a tolerance in 40 CFR
180.1258. Since this product is a non-
selective herbicide the product will be
applied either when the crop is not
present or the application will be
directed away from the crop. The
product is not intended for any direct
application to the crop therefore only a
minor amount of inadvertent residues
could occur. Acetic acid is a naturally
occurring substance found in all plants
therefore inadvertent residues would be
indistinguishable from acetic acid
already in the crop.
